“Is not Christmas the only occasion when one gets drunk for the children’s sake?”
- James Cameron (1911 – 1985), British journalist: quoted in the “Independent on Sunday” (London), Dec 20, 1991.
“How strangely people live. They seem to be in command of the situation – and they do not understand that they have been given the chance of living and actually using the opportunity to be free. Everything in this life is terrible, apart from the freedom of will that we possess. Once we are united with God we shall no longer be able to exercise it, it will have been taken away from us.”
- Andrey Tarkovsky (1932 – 1986), Russian film-maker: journal entry, June 22, 1980, published in “Time Within Time: The Diaries 1970 – 1986”, 1989, translated 1994.
“Ultimately, America’s answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired.”
- Robert F. Kennedy (1925 – 1968), American Democratic politician and attorney general: “The Pursuit of Justice”, 1964.
